Transylvania University Women's Softball

Hendrickson spent the past six years as head coach of women's softball at Finlandia University in Hancock, Mich. In his first season at TU, Hendrickson had three players named to the All-HCAC team, including two freshman, and two Academic All-Conference selections.  Hendrickson accumulated a 76-27 record in his final three years at Finlandia, taking the softball program to the 2013 NCAA DIII Regionals - further than any team in the history of the institution. His effort at the collegiate level awarded him three-consecutive NCAA DIII Independent Coach of the Year honors from 2011 to 2013. In each of his seasons, Hendrickson's softball program ranked nationally in the top 50, as well as the top 10, in several offensive categories. During his tenure, the Finlandia program produced the NCAA's top RBI producer, top batting average player, and most runs per game, in addition to Finlandia's first recognized All-American, catcher Alexis Lawley.  Hendrickson's goals for Pioneer softball exceed individual success and building a winning record. He looks to aim for a NCAA playoff spot and conference championship. Prior to collegiate coaching, Hendrickson coached high school athletics for nearly 20 years, serving coaching roles in softball, baseball and basketball programs, where he received two Michigan High School Athletic Association Regional Coach of the Year awards.
